Collaborative Spectrum Sharing for Hybrid Satellite-Terrestrial Networks with Large-Scale CSI (1904.03979v1)

Abstract: Satellites and terrestrial cellular networks can be integrated together for extended broadband coverage in e.g., maritime communication scenarios. The co-channel interference (CCI) is a challenging issue for spectrum sharing between satellites and terrestrial networks. Different from previous studies that adopt full channel state information (CSI) or CSI with Gaussian estimation errors for CCI mitigation, we consider a more practical case with only slowly-varying large-scale CSI to facilitate overhead reduction. A joint power and channel allocation scheme is proposed for the terrestrial system, under the constraint of leakage interference to satellite mobile terminals (MTs). The proposed scheme provides near-optimal performance according to both theoretical analysis and simulation results.
